I just got home after work with a with a bunch of warm beer. It's premium beer, I only drink premium beer. I get it cheap from a distributor accross the little park by my apartment. So I have a bunch of cheap, premium, but warm, beer and I don't drink warm beer, premium or otherwise. As I'm stuffing some in the freezer I notice a flexible dry-ice backpad that I haven't seen in years ..................yeah, so I wrap it around a warm premium beer and start looking for the ductape. No ductape, so I'll just hold it 'cause this beer's not gonna last that long. Then, as I'm walking by a table covered with stuff I haven't strictly looked at in years (premium stuff, I just haven't been paying much attention to it) I see the end of a piece of surgical tubing. Great stuff surgical tubing. Right up there with the "Honey I'm Home" brand ductape.
 
How are you asking?
 
Reminds me of the time I had some warm beer we smuggled onto a navy ship when it was in drydock at a shipyard. We had a sailor assigned as a firewatch while some welding was done. He was equipped with a large CO2 fire extinguisher. We put our beer in the nozzle of the fire extinguisher and gave it a blast of CO2. It turned the can of beer ice cold and caused dry ice to form on the can. After icing down our sixpack. we got back to work. Of course we caused a small fire that got a bit larger due to the fire extinguisher running out of CO2. We ended up needing a firehose. We never tried that again, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
